Government Cracks Down on Drink Driving | Nottingham News

The government is rolling out its most ambitious road safety reforms in decades, starting with a drastic lowering of the drink-driving limit to 22 micrograms — already the standard in Scotland. Experts warn even one drink could push drivers over the new threshold, sending a clear message: don’t drink before you drive. Beyond booze, they’re mandating eyesight tests for drivers over 70 and handing out penalty points for unbuckled passengers. While alcohol affects everyone differently, this crackdown aims to save lives and cement the government’s legacy on road safety.
